Light Detection And Ranging
A remote sensing technology that utilizes reflected laser beams to generate an
array of closely-spaced point data that contain x, y, and z values as well as other
information.
What is LiDAR?
Global Mapper LiDAR Training
• LiDAR can be collected by an airborne collection system or using terrestrial sensors
• Point spacing can vary from a few points to several thousand or more points per square meter
• ASPRS Classifications assign points to a defined class (e.g. Ground, Building, High Vegetation, etc.)
• Points may include RGB and/or NIR values allowing pseudo-raster analysis
• LiDAR is being used in a variety of fields including archeology, forestry, utility management, structural engineering, resource extraction, and virtually every other imaginable field
What is LiDAR?
Global Mapper LiDAR Training
I) Understanding our Point Cloud• Loading data, Metadata/statistics, Visualizing data• LiDAR Editing and Query
– 2D and 3D– Profile View– Manual editing
• LiDAR QC
Agenda
II) Classifying a Point Cloud• Auto-classifying ground points
– Terrain characteristics
• Auto-classify non-ground– Building and trees– Powerlines
Agenda
III) Terrain Products and Analysis• Gridding LiDAR to Create a DTM or DSM
– Differences in grid methods– Hydro-flattening
• Terrain Analysis and Volume Calculation– Pile volume, flattened site planes– Watershed analysis
• Change Detection– Visualizing and Quantifying change
